Andy Grimsrud (So., Zumbrota, Minn./Z-M) had a career-high 11 points in his first start. Grimsrud filled in for Matt Schlenker, who missed because of a minor hand injury. Schlenker is listed as day-to-day. Kevin Jaunich (Sr., Delano, Minn.) added 10 points in the win.

Jay Howard was the only Auggie in double figures with 11 points.
